Is this normal? Thought I'd ask since you've experience of the Magic Keyboard on both the 13" Intel and newer M1MacBookPros.

      A friend of mine, he built his computer - I had mine pre built, (but it was slightly custom done)
      And we ran the specs and interestingly* His machine, has a better thermal performance and can sustain for longer. Mine however* is like the mega drive, I have a higher clock speed, and more ram (tho mega drive comparison isn’t valid, it only had the one thing)
      But seeing as we spent around the same money, (excluding the extra I spent to have it prebuilt) by a good margin, his machine technically can sustain for longer. Whilst mine just ‘it has storage. It has ram, it has that faster CPU clock speed and a GPU, which means GTA 4 can run on it. Not very well* but it can run it.
      His machine, I commend. Because it’s HALF THE SIZE of mine. And whilst mine grinds to a halt most the time, especially when I wanted to push those ‘harder specs’ ya know, use the full 16gb RAM, compared to his 8gb,
      Literally mines the definition of ‘I have a space rocket of a car’ vs someone who has a cheap £1000 car, maybe second hand. The moment I do anything Bang and it’s gone.
      But that’s my personal opinion when it comes to specs.
      But I will say when it comes to video games.... ‘more definitely can help out’ doesn’t mean every developer knows how to effectively use more space. Especially if they can’t optimise it fully for the machine they are running.
      That’s why I have respect for Nintendo as I feel they kind of have the same approach as Apple. Make more with less, and if you can’t (as a developer) copy and paste a game over. You have to look at it and work it out.
      That can yield a better result and ultimately allow said developer to become better at their craft having to work with less.

    I love this video, Rene! I used to be a spec chaser; that led me to a lot of Samsung and LG products (Galaxy S3; Tab S 10.5; G3). This all changed when I bought an iPad Mini w/Retina (now called the Mini 2). I could not believe or even understand how the Mini 2 - which was a year older than the Galaxy Tab S, the latter of which had an octacore processor (8 cores!!) and three times the amount of RAM as the mini - was faster and smoother in every respect than the Tab S. I bought the Mini 2 on promotion after it was nearly a year old, and it performed circles around that Galaxy Tab S. I never, ever, bought another Android or Windows device after that Mini 2. I went from the G3 to the 6 Plus; I went from a Compaq tower computer to a 27" 5k iMac (on which I am typing this comment; I've been using this computer for the past five years and it works as well as the day I took it out of the box); I went from an LG G watch of some kind to an Apple watch; heck I even went Apple TV. That singular experience of the Mini 2 changed everything for me. And by the way, my daughter still uses the Mini 2 on a daily basis to this very day. A full six years of daily use on that thing and it still works like a champ. And it still receives security updates from Apple. That's pretty impressive and why this video really hit home for me.

      Except that they really do (or at least should) matter. The amount of RAM and battery capacity both heavily influence the longevity of the device. If you look at why iPhones are deprecated it's often due to lack of RAM. Batteries have a limited number of usage cycles. If your battery last much longer than you typically require your only using a partial cycle each day and the lifespan of the battery will be significantly extended. These batteries are sealed inside and expensive to replace (I have years old Android phone on its third battery because it was yser replacable). Yes these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device. They are pretty important when comparing between iOS devices and ensuring you get your moneys worth over the life of the device.

      @@samlook The problem is they don't to the average consumer. You even said "these specs are largely irrelevant compared to an Android device" so what would the consumer looking to buy an iPhone 12 compare the specs to? Their current iPhone XR perhaps? To do that they would have to know the power draw differences between the A12 and A14 processors. How about power draw between the LCD and OLED displays? Does my black wallpaper with OLED mean I have to calculate that in as well? The iPhone 12 uses 1 GB more RAM so how much extra power does that draw? My point is most customers don't have any of this information with any phone and even if they did they wouldn't understand it. Most are like cavemen when it comes to tech. In my best caveman voice "iPhone has 2800 battery, Samsung has 4100 battery... Samsung more better!". This is why Apple lists hours of video playback and music listening.

But the JIT doesn’t do anything to the code if it doesn’t detect run time optimisations.
      There’s no Java interpreter. It is not interpreted.

      The practical difference here is the key part. To make a Python program run I can directly clone the *source* code into the target environment and then execute the code with ‘python helloworld.py’.
      If you clone some Java code to your target environment and try ‘java helloworld.java’ you will only get an error.
      You have to take your source code and run it through the java *compiler* (javac) and only then can you execute the resulting ‘helloworld.class’ file. Furthermore your source code is *linked* to dependent libraries’ *class* files (their binaries).

    Your AirPods Max point wasn't very compelling to me, because they did add an on/off switch to it - in the form of putting it in the case. So they still expect you to micromanage the battery, it's just less convenient to do so than if there was a physical button or switch on the headphone itself.
    Although I agree with your overall point that Apple will generally prefer to not have users micromanaging things like power settings. It's just odd that it seems that Apple didn't apply that principle to this particular product.

    A classic story about specs being bullshit - I remember when I used to work (programming) on a system that was run on a Silicon Graphics Irix supercomputer. We had some other guys working on systems that ran on these new Sun racks which had recently changed to Intel architecture. And one time they were bragging how their intel processor ran at 2.0GHz or whatever and our “slow” SGI was “only” 455Mhz - I pointed out yeah, the PROCESSOR is 455MHz but so is the MEMORY and also the entire BACKPLANE all the way to the disks and other peripherals. So if one of the processors wanted something from the memory - one clock cycle. Meanwhile their “blazing fast” 2GHz processor had to wait for the much slower memory channels or the PCI bus for many many many multiple cpu clock cycles before it got the data it wanted. Despite the lower “spec” of the clock speed, our several years old SGI system still had MULTIPLE TIMES the data throughput (the thing that really mattered!) of the brand new Sun (“intel”) pizza boxes.

    Here's something cool about optimization that I appreciate as somebody who's been following Swift for a while:
    Apple bundled the Swift 5.0 runtime into its operating systems on iOS 12.4 if I'm not mistaken (I'm sure it's no coincidence that was the final version supported on iPhones 5s and 6). Previously - and much like Android as far as I'm aware - apps had to bundle the Swift runtime they were compiled with, because Swift was not ABI-stable before version 5.0.
    This has significantly reduced the memory (and storage) footprint of apps in iOS and improved general performance and launch time.

    On the ram front, I remember seeing a video by Android Central I believe that compared app to app, and most used basically the same amount. So iOS apps themselves really aren’t more memory efficient, unless something has changed, even though there is the common misconception they are. Which means with less ram you have less true multitasking, especially with the aggressive culling iOS does.
    Also I think Apple is smart not advertising specs, but if you want to find them you should be able to find them. Imagine someone selling a car where all they said was it’s fast enough and glued the engine shut.

      No,iOS has a better way of handling background apps. Android,on the other hand,keeps the complete app running in the background. Which is why you can open more than 20 tabs on an iPad pro and still see no performance drop. Did you even watch that whole video?

    These explanations just makes Apple look like a Saint. Brother, your descriptions and explanations about why Apple doesn't reveal a lot of specifications is kind of acceptable. Unfortunately, those are still not a reason to not display what they have built in their phones. Why ? They afraid to show smaller numbers? Again.. it is not about the numbers. But for a lot of people numbers (specifications) are important. No reason justifies why they can't simply add those to the Technical specifications list - Yeah. They actually call it Tech Specs and still make it hidden.

Apple customers don't care how an android phone performs or even have any desire to own one, so how is that selling a benefit and experience?

    Nice vid, but when you said Iphones don't need as much RAM, I cringed a little. I have the standard iphone 12, and it keeps closing apps when I have many apps open, and the most annoying part was when I have already typed out a a reply on twitter, then I got an urgent imessage that I need to check and reply to, and when I went back to twitter, the app refreshed and I had to type my message all over again. I wish it has more RAM like the 12 pro max as my brother didn't have this issue on the 12 pro max. 4 GB and below is no longer going to cut it no matter how much apple optimises IOS.

    Another great video and set of thoughts. TU. I know there will be haters, regardless how many times you qualified your thoughts, but I especially appreciate this video why Apple is trying to be more “real user” vs “geek” or “tech reviewer” centric in their communication. I was a systems programmer back in the day when an upgrade of 256MB of true core memory (remember those hand-wired round little magnets?) on my employer’s mainframe computer cost nearly $100K, and I had the very difficult time trying to justify why we needed it in our mainframe to support the development and operation team’s needs to mgmt... I was also an IBM employee when the original IBM PC came out, and bought a $12K 128KB dual-floppy PC at employee prices. Anyone remember the 5.25” floppy media? - I had a few dozen of them that cost me a lot of money to just house a few KB of data on each one. ;) Your points are dead-on. How the combination of HW and OS work together is key - and what is most important for the majority of real owners today for devices like our smartphones, tablets, home computers or any other smart device. Specs are something techies dwell on. As many years as I’ve spent as a techie selling and dwelling on speeds and feeds out of necessity, the reality for me today is how the end functionally of the device feels and operates against my specific needs. “The numbers” as I once used as my baseline to sell, install and compare are far less important and almost meaningless.

Even though it might look like iPhone apps are staying on memory, it may be just that apps are designed to save memory before deaths. Albeit Android also has the same Mechanism, the closed-environment and tight ram management makes the iPhone lasting longer in Phone’s long-term usage in two - three years.

    Yes the Airpods max does not have a on off switch, instead you are forced to put them in their special case for them to turn off. That's f*ing annoying and force you to spend time on meanless things to save battery. Even dumber is that they don't just turn off after a few minutes when you take them off since it does recognize that you've removed them. How you can call something like that stress free is really hard to understand it's really not a good design.

    I agree with why they don’t want to release that data. But-it’s futile. As soon as the first devices arrive, someone finds the specs and releases them. Every tech site releases the specs. Because of this, it’s just silly that they don’t release them themselves. All that happens is that people accuse Apple of hiding them because they’re not good. Apple should release the specs, and do some work to explain why the specs are what they are. They do release specs when they want us to know them, so some of the excuses are really pretty lame.

Android OEMs put more and more RAM into their devices so there is no need for that.
